Merry Christmas! Laura Brewer's decorated Scotty in North Carolina


Want something fun to do during dreary February? Do something, anything, with your trailer and email the pictures (note, do NOT post them on Facebook) to be included in an event slideshow for Winter Camp-in, Anywhere You Are, 2016, our seventh year for this fun event that everyone can "attend"! More info...


Assateaque has been full for a while but always cancellations. If you want to go, keep checking. See more.


Road Trip West to Iowa is finalized and scheduled for October, 2017. It will again start at Mabel's Glade (for anyone who wants to stop there to join in the caravan west) and takes in a visit to the RV Museum in Elkhart before heading to the first campground, shown above, Starved Rock State Park in Illinois. We cannot reserve sites yet, keep watch as it will be announced in plenty of time. You might want to read Karen Musser Nortman's first book, Bats and Bones, in the Frannie Campbell Campground Mystery Series in the meantime.


We will return to Savannah, GA in November, 2017, staying again at Skidaway Island State Park. So much to see. So much to do! Reserve your site NOW else you risk not getting one. The campground says this is their busiest time.


Fall Creek Falls in Tennessee is scheduled for May 2018. More info...

Dale Goldberg got a chance to visit Miss Eva and daughter Kathy Dickson while in Florida recently. Miss Eva turned 97 in November and is riding her trike 2 miles a day and sometimes 4 miles a day. She and her husband were good friends of John Serro's and did many many of the caravan tours that John arranged.


David Margolis' hand crafted table with a beautiful inlay of a fishing fly. WOW!


Wes Cray's '59 is done! Another WOW!


Look what showed up at Mabel's house, a 1959 15' Shasta. Sadly, she says, it's Russell Leichty's, who will be picking it up probably in the spring.
